Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

  1. Sun in Libra · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 6

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 4

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 6

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 7

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.20°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Jupiter MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.25°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  3. Mercury MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.29°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Chiron MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.45°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  5. Moon Saturn · sextile, orb 0.62°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 0.74°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
